Nokia Lumia 1320 coming soon to Cricket Wireless

The Nokia Lumia 1320 is a great piece of hardware for those wanting a phone that's large, but also affordable. The display measures 6-inches and packs some respectable hardware into a package that's attractive and easy on your wallet. Our friends internationally have been enjoying the Lumia 1320 in places like India and Asia for a handful of months. Now those in the United States on Cricket Wireless are about to get the Lumia 1320.

Right now you'll find the Lumia 520 as the only Windows Phone available at Cricket Wireless. That's set to change as a Windows Phone Central tipster has shared some internal employee training for the Lumia 1320.

The Lumia 1320 comes with 1.7GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage (expandable through microSD), a 5MP rear camera and a 0.3MP front-facing camera. The 6-inch display is a 720p panel.

Before a new handset hits store shelves, employees receive training on the phone. It probably won't be too much longer before we get a press release with the date and availability of the Lumia 1320 for Cricket Wireless. We'll of course let you know when the Lumia 1320 goes on sale for Cricket.

Oh yeah, I love my Icon. Great phone (except the poor WiFi range, which I felt a little better about when it was at least about the same as an iPhone 5C I compared with, evcen if my Lumia 521 still kicks its ass).

But I would've preferred to pay less and be on a carrier with unlimited data, rather than Verizon, which has great coverage at least where I am, but the data limits are taking a lot of the fun out of having a great cellphone. With my Lumia 521 on T-Mobile I never had to worry. Now I have to manage the data use carefully, which kinda sucks. I guess I'll get used to it, but it feels like they really cripple the smartphone experience, unless you pay a ridiculous amount of money.

You know, I thought I would miss it a LOT when I moved up from the 928 to the ICON, for about a week i was like, "Oh, now I have to hit the power button to see the time" but, after 2 or so weeks, I am like, no biggie, would be nice to have but I could live with out it....

We Indians are happy. Because every phones in the market are factory unlocked. Don't worry about operator block.
Any connection you can use with any phones including iPhone.
My Lumia 1320 Has a problem of Removing of SD card automatically.

They don't even have to put it on tmo, just make sure it has all the tmo bands and is somewhat simple to unlock. That will be enough to make me happy (though I wish any WP on tmo would be able to download and install WiFi calling, even if it isn't a tmo phone).

Well 32gb moto x is $100 off starting tomorow at 12:00 EST. So $300 and better specs than 1320. I haven't noticed my 925 being slower after update. Well I really just play around with it, not my primary phone. Debating on selling it. .. Really need new windows phones. A updated lumia 1020 might tempt me away from android but wp needs candy crush and better music app first.

Maybe you should have waited for the consumer release (along with 8.1 optimized apps and firmware updates), instead of installing a "beta" version, don't you think? Next time don't be so impatient. :-)

Icon is exclusive to Verizon...and they had the 1520 before the Icon which is everything the Icon is except you gain an SD card slot, you can choose internal capacity (16gb or 32gb), gain a larger screen with glance, and because of being on ATT get the option to purchase the special neutered edition without Qi (but it is moddable, I'm about to do it).

What's funny is everything you say is true. ATT has shown the most support and had the best phone selection. Yet T-Mobile who has shown low support and no current high end phone has the most window phone customers in the U.S.

It's because people don't want to deal with AT&T's shady practices and wants a network that doesn't bleed them like vampires. For instance, isn't it nearly impossible to get your phone unlocked with AT&T? I see people complaining about that all the time. Yet, with T-Mobile, I just got unlock codes for TWO of my phones a day after I requested them. T-Mo also offers the most bang for your buck, and unlike what that usual troll says, the network is improving daily.

Funny, my T-Mobile unlock request for a fully paid for off contract phone was ultimately denied after more than two weeks of trying. I wish T-Mobile was as good everywhere as they seem to be in your imaginary happy land.

When U call CSR just ask for international CSR rep tell them u traveling overseas I never have a problem getting my unlock code, two wks after I buy my phones I always call and get my phones unlock just make sure your acct. is in good standing, my only problem with TMo is that they fail to get high end phones wish they do this time around although I'm saving to get one of the new ones that should b coming out, would love a L925 refresh with 5" screen 32gig plus SD card.

They are all in on Android. I really think they got the iPhone because they had to in order to stop the bleeding. The issue is that their money is being pumped into network to improve service, while the big boys are throwing down to get exclusives. I have nothing to back this up, but I think T-mo's next move may have to do with offering compatible unlocked phones through their EIP program. Basically they could be a middle man for third parties. So perhaps they could offer a wider selection without bloat and carrier interference wrt updates, neutralize a competitive advantage, increase device sales, and finance the phones to keep people happy and locked to their service. Cuz right now, if you buy an unlocked device, you owe no allegiance to Tmo. It's a good move... There is mutual benefit and it's a move that the other three carriers can't or won't offer. Rant over.

Then you have two options: The 929 on Verizon and the 1520 on AT&T. And if you're on T-Mobile, assuming they use the same bands their mother-company Deutsche Telekom, you can also get a 930 from Europe.

You do realise that unlike in US,here in Germany they don't have carrier variants. All phones are international versions but if you buy from a carrier it just comes sim locked. You would be better of ordering it on amazon.de.

This is really exciting news! I'm not on Cricket Wireless but I was a long time ago. They've come a very long way. Obviously,AT&T saw that. It provides another low cost Windows Phone option on a popular carrier.

Finally a WP on cricket I've been wondering why they never put the 520 on there but this is a great choice hopefully it will give people who don't want to be on the big carriers a chance to get a decent WP but I wonder about the service

Didn't aio have the 620? Now that it switched to cricket they axed it? Is 5 lines on the lowest plan (500mb) $110 a month on cricket? My cousins have tmobile and coverage is horrible (2g service) and they are looking for a cheap option.
